When it comes to whole, natural beauty, many people focus solely on the products but there’s more to it than that just using the right mositurizer.
Shiva Rose, in her excellent book Whole Beauty, takes us on a tour of the rituals, mantras and routines that can be used to transform a beauty routine into a holistic care routine for our souls.
A Beautiful Text For Beautiful People

One thing we’d note straight away is that this book is full of amazing images and if your budget will stretch to it – you’d be much better off with the hardback than the Kindle edition which shrinks and reduces the images.
Shiva Rose wrote Whole Beauty after finding herself in mortal peril from autoimmune disorders.
She wanted to make sure that her beauty routine was not compromising her health in any way and her recipes incorporate products that she grows in her own garden.
Rose not only managed to treat her health problems with these products, but she’s also become a real leader in the ethical and sustainable all-natural beauty field.
A few years ago I began my blog The Local Rose to get closer to the earth and all its beauty. This desire led me on a journey that included solitary walks in forests, swimming in clean seas, and meditation through my Kundalini yoga practice. What came to me one day, after a moment of stillness, was a message. The message was to bring beauty and luminosity to women in a way that was nourishing and nurturing.
